Review Quotes
"The British film The Escapist, which made its North American debut at Sundance this year, not only works as a brilliant, twisting existential expansion of the traditional prison break film; it also works as a crackerjack example of the traditional prison break film."—CinematicalCinematical: Sundance Review: The Escapist (February 2, 2008)- "Without straying too far from formula or stock characters, The Escapist shapes a standard prison-break drama into a metaphysical study of freedom and reparation."—NY TimesNY Times: Surviving Inside a Decaying Museum (April 3, 2009)
